Chapter 572: Go Forward
Although the number one contributor to the alliance with the Weaver Clan was Yang Yi, there was no place for Yang Yi at the ceremony of signing the alliance agreement. Yang Yi didn't complain about this, and he didn't like to show his head. Besides, he originally went to the Alliance Star as an envoy of the Human Federation, representing the entire Human Federation. The current Yang Yi is only a major general, and the only person who has signed an alliance with the Weaver Star Clan on behalf of the Human Federation is a government official.
The arrival of the Star Soul Empress made the signing ceremony extraordinarily grand.
In fact, the Star Soul Empress was the first royal being in thousands of years to come to her home system and sign an alliance treaty with the Human Federation in the Federation Star.
In a sense, the Star Soul Empress personally attended the signing ceremony and signed the alliance treaty on behalf of the Star Weavers, which was tantamount to recognizing the status of the Human Federation. Even if it cannot be considered that the Human Federation is on an equal footing with the top civilizations, it is enough to prove the importance of the Human Federation. It is conceivable that at the end of this war, the status of the Human Federation in the Galactic Alliance will definitely be greatly improved.
Of course, it's just a ritual.
At the time when the Star Soul Empress signed the Treaty of Alliance with the President of the Human Federation, more important things were going on, namely the negotiations and consultations for the ensuing combat operations.
It is Alora who represents the Weaver Clan, and the nine theater commanders such as Zhan Ruilin who represent the Human Federation.
Although nine to one, the initiative is not in the hands of Zhan Ruilin and others.
Quite simply, the Weaver Legion commanded by the Star Soul Empress has taken control of the Greenwich Line, and the main army of the Weaver Clan has arrived. In other words, no matter whether it is a war or a peace next, the Weaver Clan has the final say, and the Human Federation has no decision-making power, and even has little right to speak.
Obviously, there is no suspense in such negotiations.
Although did not participate in the negotiations. But through the communication equipment that Aurora carried, Yang Yi knew the negotiation process inside out.
As he had guessed, Zhan Ruilin and the others tried their best to persuade Alora, hoping that the Weavers would not rashly attack, and also listed a large number of reasons. For example, the Human Federation is not ready for a strategic counteroffensive and does not have enough troops. It is not possible to provide the necessary support and assistance to the Weavers. Another example is that the Silicon Charm Alliance has not really been defeated, most of the Silicon Charm Legions commanded by the top war kings have withdrawn, and if they rashly launch a counterattack, not only will it be impossible to achieve a decisive victory, but they may also suffer a crushing defeat because of their risk. For example, most of the civilizations of the Galactic Alliance have not started war mobilization, and the military strength of the Human Federation and the Planet Weaver Clan alone cannot defeat the Silicon Phantom Alliance.
These reasons were good, but they failed to convince Alora.
The reasons put forward by Zhan Ruilin and others. Aurora only emphasized one point, if this opportunity is missed, when the Silicon Charm Alliance completes its strategic adjustment, even if the entire Yine River Alliance is mobilized, it may not be able to attack the North Alpha System, let alone achieve a decisive victory.
The two sides have their own views, and the negotiations will naturally not lead to anything.
"What do you think?"
Yang Yi smiled faintly and did not rush to answer the Star Soul Empress's question.
Negotiations have been going on for most of the day. Although nothing came of it, neither side gave up. They all seem to think they can convince each other.
"Actually, I don't think it's necessary at all." Seeing that Yang Yi refused to speak, the Star Soul Empress said again, "I have already asked, at most half a year, the Yu family will be able to master the military technology we provide." With the strength of the Jade family. With the support of many colonial galaxies, you can have your own fleet in five years at the earliest, and you no longer need the support of the military department. At least you don't need to look at the face of the military department everywhere. ”
"Anyway, I'm a federal soldier."
As soon as Yang Yi said this, the Star Soul Empress's expression immediately changed.
"Although I am different from other soldiers, I will not betray the Human Federation, at least not take this step on my own initiative." Yang Yi glanced at the Star Soul Empress and said, "Your Majesty has also seen that the nine theater commanders have exactly the same position on this matter, and none of them are thinking about the future of the Federation. If I only think about my own interests and don't care about them, then what's the difference with them? ”
"Really?"
"Obviously, if I stand up at this time, even if the current situation can be maintained, the Human Federation will be torn apart. What's more, if I don't have the support of the federal authorities, then I will inevitably have worries when I lead the legion on an expedition. Don't talk about me, will those soldiers who follow me on the expedition be able to fight with peace of mind? Your Majesty thinks that I can achieve victory in this situation? ”
The Star Soul Empress did not say anything, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Yang Yi's point of view.
"Of course, we don't have a choice." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "It's just that there is no need to worry about anything, all you need is a little patience." ”
"Patience?"
Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
It was at this time that Otis hurried in and nodded at Yang Yi, saying hello before she walked to the Star Soul Empress and whispered in the Empress's ear.
Before Otis finished speaking, the Star Soul Empress's face changed, and she glanced at Yang Yi a few times.
"You go out first, and if there is new news, come in and report immediately."
Otis did not hesitate and immediately took his leave.
"I just received the news that representatives of dozens of civilizations have initiated war bills in the Alliance Council, and all of them are civilizations that are friendly with the Lei Ling Clan."
"Well, I'm not wrong, right?"
The Star Soul Empress smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that you still have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet. ”
"It's not an unpredictable prophet, everything makes sense."
"Really?"
"Although the Silicon Charm army has retreated, the war is not over. What's more, Kutum is dead, and the Wanluo War Emperor has no choice. ”
The Star Soul Empress nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant.
"Unsurprisingly, before the negotiations are over, the military department will compromise and accept Alora's proposal, provided that Alora has to come forward before then."
"Don't worry, Otis has already contacted Alora."
"Well, let's wait."
The Star Soul Empress didn't say anything more, she had been waiting for most of the day, and it would not be a problem to wait a little longer.
It didn't take long for the federal authorities and the military department to receive a message from the Union Star. As Yang Yi expected, after learning that the Galactic Alliance Council had once again launched a war proposal, the attitude of the nine theater commanders involved in the negotiations was somewhat relaxed, and Aurora proposed at this time that Yang Yi would command the human legion to assist the Weaver Clan in launching a counterattack, and the Weaver Clan would provide relevant logistical support, and the Human Federation only needed to give Yang Yi the corresponding authorization. Although he knew that Alora's move was to support Yang Yi, Zhan Ruilin and the other nine theater commanders did not object. Subsequently, the two sides signed the first military cooperation agreement after the alliance, and it was determined that the Weaver Clan would lead the strategic counterattack.
Obviously, this result has long been expected by Yang Yi.
Quite simply, as other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance enter the war, the influence of the Weavers will be weakened. Regardless of the outcome of the counterattack, after reinforcements from other top civilizations arrived, the Vortex were no longer the only ones in charge. For those theater commanders who want to protect their own interests, they can only compete with the Weavers with the support of other top civilizations, and they have to make concessions at this time. If there is a stalemate over launching a counterattack, causing the Weavers to lose patience with the military department, the consequences may be unpredictable. To put it more seriously, as long as the Star Soul Empress believes that the authorities of the Human Federation are not really allied with the Star Weavers, she will take decisive action. If it really comes to this point, including Zhan Ruilin, no theater commander can taste the sweetness, and it would be very good if he could save his life.
Of course, for Zhan Ruilin and other theater commanders, this is not only a temporary concession, but also has a greater significance.
That is, let the Weaver Clan launch a counterattack alone and consume the military power of the Weaver Clan. When other top civilizations such as the Lei Ling Clan send troops to participate in the war, they will be able to use their strength to suppress the Weaver Clan. When the time comes, decide who to ally with, so as to achieve the goal of safeguarding your own interests.
To put it simply, it is a delaying tactic.
In fact, this is also a choice that has no choice.
After the Weaver Clan took a stand, including Zhan Ruilin, they had been forced into a corner. To put it simply, as long as the current situation is maintained, regardless of whether the Weaver Clan launches a counterattack or not, Yang Yi will replace all the theater commanders, including Zhan Ruilin, one day in the future, and become the only commander of the Human Federation, at least the only military commander. When that day comes, none of the current nine theater commanders will have a good outcome. If you are wise, you can save yourself, and if you are not wise, you will even take your life. Even if they knew that the Wanluo War Emperor and the Heavenly Saint Emperor were unreliable, Zhan Ruilin and the other nine theater commanders could only compromise and at least have a glimmer of hope for them.
What will happen in the future, Yang Yi didn't think much about it, and he didn't need to think about it much.
It can be said that the moment he returned to his home galaxy, Yang Yi stepped into the foreground, lost his choice, and had no way out.
Whether it is for himself or for the soldiers who followed him in the bloody battle, Yang Yi can only move forward bravely.
It was also at that moment that Yang Yi made a clear direction and realized that what he did was no longer just a personal act, but also related to the thousands of soldiers who followed him.
Since there is no choice, there should be no other concerns.
After receiving the news, the Star Soul Empress did not delay and immediately left.
Although she was confident, the Star Soul Empress was also convinced of Yang Yi's prediction. In fact, she had already discovered the changes in Yang Yi. Before that, the Star Soul Empress still had a feeling of indescribability and incomprehension. Now she has figured out that Yang Yi has an extra kind of courage that only a commander has.
Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
The Star Soul Empress was a little worried, but it was only worried, at least so far, Yang Yi was still a trusted and relied on friend.
Perhaps, this relationship can be maintained forever.
The next day, Yang Yi received an order from the military department to report on his work and accept a new appointment. (To be continued.) )
